ce: conflict in Mindanao

In Mindanao the Muslims for self-rule.  Self-rule means to take charge of themselves.  Recently some Philippine troops have been fighting the Muslims.  On Tuesday 18 Muslims were killed and 10 soldiers were missing.  The Muslims are called the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.  Over the years they thought that more than 120,000 people were killed in this conflict.  I think the Philippines should keep Mindanao because it is part of their territory.  The Philippines should make a treaty with the Muslims to end the conflict.  They should have the Muslims live there as long as they don’t cause any threat.  The Muslims need to follow the Philippines laws.

(free)school

  School  is awesome. It may seem boring at first but after awhile it could be fun. There are classes that are boring. There are classes that are fun. My favorite classes are judo and history. I like judo because you learn how to defend yourself. I like history because I get to learn about other cultures and about what happened in the past. Some classes are hard but it could be easy if you put your mind to it. Some people say that school is a waste of time but its not. School is really helpful. School helps you get a great job that pays a lot. School sometimes makes things not sound boring. Sometime during the summer students can't wait to go back to school. There fun stuff that you can do in school.

(free)Badminton

   Badminton is fun. It is one of my favorite sports. I've been playing badminton for half a year already. During the summer me and my friends go to EBA (Eastbay Badminton Association) to practice for badminton season. The first time i went to EBA to practice I keep hitting the birdie too high. My fiends thought me how to hit straight over the net. After my first practice my whole body was hurting. Its like i could barely move. A day later the pain went away. The second time I went to EBA I got the hang of it. Me and my friends did a doubles match. I keep hitting it straight forward because I was using my whole arm instead of using my wrist. After a few rally's I got the hang of it. Badminton is a sport that could only be played indoors. When playing badminton do not use too much power unless your going to smash. The one thing I need to learn is how to block a smash. If you want to be a good badminton player do not use a heavy racket.feel Good rackets cost about 100 and up. Changed the grip on your racket every time the grip worn out.Always the string every few months. There two kinds of birdies u can use, one is feathered and the other is plastic. The more you practice the more you will become better at it.

Dark Basement

Bob and three of his friends went to his to play video games at night. They were making a lot of noise. They put the volume so high that everyone in the house could hear it. They were playing Call of Duty Black Ops. A few hours later the power went off. Bob thought it was just them until he checked outside. It turns out the whole neighborhood had a blackout. They were a complaining about the blackout. His mom told him that they have a back up generator in the basement. So the boys went to the basement to get the generator.

When Bob opened the basement door he couldn’t really see anything. He turned on his flash light and started going into the basement. While walking down the stairs one of the steps broke. His friend freaked out. When they got down there they waved their flashlights to see where the generator is. The basement was so big that it looks like it goes on for miles. Bob and his friends divide into groups to find the generator. One group went one way and one went the other. When they were down there they smell a lot of dust. One of them felt something wet. When he flashed the light at the object it was a bottle of paint that spilled over. For a second he thought it was blood. The other group found a box of candy. They started eating it. When they took a bite it tasted stale.

(free)summer

 

This summer was fun. I did a lot of things over the past 3 months. During my first month of summer I hang out with my friends, played basketball, and went to the beach. A week later I started summer school. I wasn't really excited about summer school until I saw one of my friends that I haven't seen in a year. The only thing good about summer school is seeing your friends. Everyday after school I hang out with my friends at quickly. While I was at quickly I saw a friend that I haven’t seen in 3 years. During the week me and my friends went to watch super 8. The day after that we went to Chinatown. Everyday during summer school we read a lot. The week after we went to japantown. It was my first time going there. Me and my friends played badminton almost every week. My friends and I went ice skating for my birthday.

                                    Introduction

               Hi my name is Daniel Dalipe. I am 16 years old. I like to do physical activities. My favorite hobbies are martial arts, hanging out with friends, videogames, and guitar. I like martial arts because it teaches you self defense. I do kung fu and judo. In kung fu I learn how to punch, kick and block. I only did kung fu for three months because I was at my dad’s house in Los Angeles for the summer. I didn’t stay long enough for me to move on to the next ranks.  I did kung fu at Z Ultimate. If I stayed long enough I could have been a 4^th rank right now. Maybe next summer I’ll go to LA and visit my old kung fu class. This year I’m doing judo. In judo you learn how to throw and take a fall. I started judo at the beginning of the school year. I did judo because I want to learn how to defend myself more. It also helps build muscle. I like to play guitar. I’ve been playing guitar since 8^th grade. I did it because I like music. I like hang out with friends.

              I like to do sports. My favorite sports are badminton, basketball and tennis. I learned how to play badminton about 4 months ago. I am planning to try out for the team this year.  Badminton is a fun sport. I go to EBA (Eastbay Badminton Association) every week to practice for the team. Hopefully I could make team captain by senior year. My other favorite sport is tennis. I’ve been playing tennis for the past 4 summers. I learn how to play tennis from my dad. Tennis is almost like badminton except that you hit a tennis ball instead of a birdie and the racquets are a bit heavier. Another sport I like to play is basketball. I have been playing basketball since I was 10. I play basketball anytime my friends want to play.

              There are a few adventures I want to have. One of my adventures is to go to Korea to meet Kpop singers. My other adventure is to go to Japan to see anime creators. I want to go to a famine convention. Another adventure I want is to go visit my girlfriend at her school. I want to go see the Grand Canyon. I want to see the great wall of China.

              My writing goals for the year are to improve my writing. I need to write a lot in a certain amount of time. Anytime I do an essay I need to start ahead of time. I should always make sure my essays make sense. I need to add more detail to what I’m writing about.
